PRO Season 2 Blu-ray

Real world article
(written from a production point of view)

Star Trek: Prodigy - Season Two is a Blu-ray release featuring the entirety of the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy. Contrary to the preceding region A release where the first season Blu-ray release was divided into two parts, all regions now received their second season Blu-ray home video format in one release. It debuted near-concurrently in North America and the UK.

While the first season Blu-ray release was issued with bonus gift items, the second season release came with none. As usual, the discs came mounted in a standard plastic snapcase, which was issued within a carton slipcover.

While in a very few cases still being marketed as region-restricted, the releases are in actuality region-free as this has become commonplace for the Blu-ray format – also explaining the unified inclusion of subtitles and dubbed language audio tracks for all regions. It also explains why the set was not slated for a separate release in a wider array of region B/C territories; customers in those territories were equally well served with UK, German or even US imports.

Background information

  • For Canadian Region A fans/customers this, and/or its DVD and digital download counterpart releases became the very first time that they could officially watch the season in a legal manner, as the season had not been streamed by Netflix in that country. [1]
  • The number and length of the special featurettes on this release are rather paltry when compared to those on the previous season home video format releases, and this had everything to do with the cancellation of the series by the Star Trek franchise and its subsequent removal from all Paramount Global platforms in June 2023. It did result in the season not being covered in The Ready Room aftershow (where specials on the underlying production were usually featured as well), despite its host, Wil Wheaton, prominently recurring as his Star Trek: The Next Generation alter ego Wesley Crusher in the second season. Wheaton got the chance to say his piece though, in the special features of the home video release.
  • As had already been the case with the previous season Blu-ray release, this release is as of 2024 one of only eight Kurtzman-era Star Trek Blu-ray home video release not to see a corresponding "Limited SteelBook® Edition" release (the other ones being Star Trek: Short Treks, DIS Seasons 1-3 Collection, LD Seasons 2, 3, 4, and Star Trek: Discovery - The Complete Series).
  • As with the first season home video format release, it was on 28 July 2024 announced at the San Diego Comic Con that the digital purchase option of the entire second season was to proceed the physical disc releases through the usual array of digital vendors, such as Prime Video, the iTunes Store and others, starting the next day on 29 July.
